Next Week, Senses of Cinema at Sunrise Cinemas presents Kontroll, an internationally
acclaimed award winning debut by Hungarian director Anal Nimrod. Below is a brief
synopsis and schedule. Looking forward to seeing you at the movies.
Shelly Isaacs

KONTROLL
2003 - Hungary - Nimród Antal
June 27, 2006 at 7 PM - Intracoastal 8
June 28, 2006 at 7 PM - Sunrise 11
June 29, 2006 at 7 PM - Mizner8
The massive labyrinthine netherworld that is the Budapest subway system provides the
stunning setting for 'Kontroll,' a high-style, high-speed romantic thriller in which
the lives of assorted outcasts, lovers, and dreamers intersect and collide. One
handsome young hero, one mysterious maiden, and one particularly nasty killer must
conduct a race against time, trains, and destiny itself in their frantic pursuit of
one another.

"Kontroll is that singular success, a thoroughly satisfying, rambunctious
entertainment that also subtly works on philosophical and spiritual levels." - Kevin
Thomas, LA Times

"As a group of episodes, the movie keeps our interest not by linear plot, but by
finely drawn characterizations." -Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

"There must be a lot of smart people out there in America ready for a youthful
explosion of talent and temperament. This is their picture." David Denby, New Yorker

Presents

LAURIE OUDIN and DANA KELLER

Two of South Florida's finest folk and acoustic musicians will give us a full
evening of their talents. Very few of our local performers have the depth of

Laurie Oudin spent her early years in New York City as a Shakespearean

singing and songwriting. Laurie is best known as the proprietress of Main Street
Cafe, which, prior to its recent closing, was considered one of the finest acoustic
venues in the country. Laurie has performed around South Florida for the past
several years in festivals, parties and house concerts. She is also known as the
lead singer for the rock/blues band 'The Pathfinders' as well as for the classic
country and Americana band 'The Ramblers'.

Dana Keller is a veteran dobro, pedal steel, lap steel and guitar player who
has spent years performing or doing studio work with the likes of Vince
Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Johnny Rodriguez and The
Allen Brothers, to name a few. He has graced the stage and opened for,
among others, Spirit, Pure Prairie League, Gordon Lightfoot, Waylon
Jennings, and Buck Owens. Dana has been an endorsee of the Gretsch Guitar and Drum
Company since 1980.

This will be a sold out evening. Come early. Stay late. Bring your friends.

Xavier is now thirty. No longer a student, he is not yet a well-balanced,
fullfiiled adult either. His career is unsatisfying: far from being the renowned
novelist he aimed to be he must be content with little jobs such as reporter or
ghost writer. His greatest "achievement" in "literature" is his collaboration to
the script of a corny TV soap ! His sentimental life is not much better, rhythmed
by one night stands and unfinished romances. It looks as if when he seduces a
woman beautiful outside and inside such as Kassia or Wendy he can't keep them.
Will he ever bring his life into focus?

SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY presented by Emerging Pictures
Spending countless hours in Frank Gehry’s studio, on building sites, and in his

various visitors, who in a tragicomic way only increase his desire without
satisfying it, there is a policewoman who interrogates him about the disappearance
of his girlfriend. Ciccio is suspected of murder.

The motive emerges from phone conversations with an unknown woman. It could be the
uncertainty, the continuous torment of a one-sided love affair.
In a whirlwind of happenings, all the mysteries are solved. The identity of the
unknown woman, the disappearance of the girlfriend, and finally Ciccio's sexual
abstinence comes to an end

IRON ISLAND presented by Emerging Pictures
